In vitro meat, which is also called lab-grown meat, test-tube meat, or cultured meat, has made a lot of headway in the past five years—and it’s not far off beginning to tempt the public palate.
In vitro meat is no longer a question of whether this will be our future—but when.

Test tube burgers are predicted to be available at a reasonable cost within a few years. PETA has helped bankroll the millions of dollars in funding that's been needed to perfect Petri dish meat.

Would you try lab grown meat?

Literally zero reason not to.

Itwould depend on how it tastes and what the texture is. There is Surimi that tastes good and there is such that makes me want to be sick. It is like with snails or fish.
 
I don't eat meat anyway...especially red/pork meat.

I don't eat anything I am not prepared to kill, dress and prepare myself.

And I am not killing cows or pigs. And chickens and fish I could do it - but I do not want to.

You don't have to kill the petri dish :lol: A test tube burger is grown from beef cells. It doesn't hurt the animal and they don't have to die.

Same for me. One report on NPR said that meat eaters couldn't tell the difference, and the beef was quite tasty.
 
I'd eat meat if you grew from a tree.
 
Hell yeah.


So here's a question. Does it cost the same to grow a pound of ground beef, typically around 3 dollars per pound at a grocery store, as it does to grow tenderloin, typically 11 dollars per pound?
 
And another question...when this is the norm...what happens to cows? We've basically destroyed that animal with breeding...they can't survive without us. Think about it. You've seen wild horses, wild dogs, wild pigs. When's the last time you saw a wild cow?
 
Soylent green is PEOPLE!

I'm sick of the Frankenfood.

Maybe.It depends on the taste and texture.Certain part of an animal are more tender than other parts and have different flavors depend on how that muscle or part is used. I don't think you can grow a new york strip steak in a lab.You can probably grow hot dogs or bologna or some other similar meat in a lab seeing how the meat for those things is ground pretty fine.

I'm a big meat eater so I'd try it. The taste of meat has changed as factory farming has increased yields and controlled breeding DNA. Meat in general is a flatter taste, and although that is subjective, I know I have to cook with more seasonings than 20-30 years ago. Used to be beef were fattened up with corn the last 30 days and I don't think they do that any more. You are what you eat and do you want to be a chemist's stew?
 
If it's acceptably comparable to the alternative, sure. But never, if it means a complete ban on the alternative.

Can PETA duplicate a few more of these for me?

Sure. Why not?

Absolutely.

I'd replace all my actual meat with lab grown if it tasted the same.

I'm just curious about the actual health side of it. I still don't believe that GMOs are harmless, it just defies logic. Not that we can stop the GMO train at this point.

Does free-range count as wild? 'Cause there's lots of free-range cattle here in BC.

I don't really see an issue with GMO's to be honest either. Most the food we eat these days is modified in some way or another.

Figure you're better off with some GMO meat then processed cheeto crap.
 
What is that, a carp? I've never seen that fringe on a gill cover before.
Whatever it is, looks like it's full of roe.

The fish had been already been gutted in this pic. This is of my son Zack who caught this 54 lb. Striper off of the kayak behind him. He got this one off of the sunken steel ships in Kiptopeke Virginia on the Chesapeake Bay. When he hooked on, I said see ya! He had no idea that he was going to be pulled a 1/4 mile away before he got the cow up onto his lap in the kayak. I sat there laughing while he fought this cow.

Some day he will catch up to Pop's. I have a 59 pounder on my 13' Ocean Kayak.

I am too old to be out there on a kayak these days. The November cold nights really start to hurt when you are 59.

definitely. i have a lot of experience with tissue culture, and most of it was myoblasts / myotubes (muscle tissue.) i would have no problem with lab-grown meat.

Nope.

I don't eat farmed salmon either, it not only has a bad taste far beyond the regular Atlantic Salmon, and they are loaded with antibiotics and other **** I don't want in my body.

Sell this **** to McDonald's, no one will notice

Nice fish. I've never fished from a kayak- it must take some coordination to haul that out onto the deck. I'd probably end up in the water with it!
